The SCOrWare project aims at providing an open source implementation of the recent Service Component Architecture (SCA) specifications defined by the Open SOA collaboration, an industrial consortium in the domain of software engineering, including BEA Systems, IBM Corporation, IONA Technologies, Oracle, Red Hat, Rogue Wave Software, Siemens, Sun Microsystems, and Sybase. Briefly, SCA defines a new architecture and programming model for Service Oriented Applications (SOA) based on the component paradigm and supporting several service description languages like WSDL and Java interfaces, several programming languages such as Java, C++, and BPEL, several communication protocols between applications such as SOAP, CORBA, Java RMI, and JMS.

The SCOrWare implementation includes a runtime platform and design/development assistance tooling for building SCA compliant applications. The SCOrWare runtime platform is built upon the Fractal component model from the OW2 consortium, and provides advanced functionalities such as dynamic reconfiguration of SCA component assemblies, a binding factory supporting different communication protocols between SCA components, a transaction service, a semantic trading service of SCA components, a deployment engine of autonomous SCA architecture and graphical administration consoles. The SCOrWare tooling is integrated in the Eclipse development environment and comprises different graphical modelers and assistants in order to specify, develop, assemble, compose semantically, test, deploy, and orchestrate SCA components. The SCOrWare implementation is applied in different business demonstrators, mainly in the scientific computation domain, collaborative platforms, and the orchestration of business transactions. The SCOrWare project results will be freely distributed through the SOA project from the OW2 consortium and the projects from the Eclipse foundation (STP and JWT).

The SCOrWare project federates the following partners: Artenum, EBM WebSourcing, Edifixio, INRIA, INT, IRIT, Obeo, and Open Wide.
